I agree that it may be curly. I used to comb my hair right after blow drying so I never knew until I cut it that it was curly. It was always poofy.
What I suggest is after washing, towel dry about half way, then take your towel and use that to scrunch your hair upwards, while squeezing the water out. When hair is wet it will curl better. Let it air dry.
The best thing would be to use a diffuser (a little bowl attachment for your hair dryer) and dry out the wet hair. This prevents the frizz that comes with towel drying.
Another option would be to straighten it with an iron. This really helps reduce the poofyness.
And if you want something kinda out there to do with your hair, take a thin strand of it from the top, start twisting it until it won't twist anymore and stay straight. Then with your other hand, hold the middle. Bring the end up to the roots and let go of the middle. It will twist into a loop. Looks really neat. I used to do it at six points around my head for a style. But I don't know if you'd want to wear it out in public.

It's probably poofy because you're washing it often. If you pick up a little texturing cream and work a little bit into your hair, it'll cut down on that. Work it in when your hair is still damp, then let your hair dry naturally with just a little scrunching.
If you're looking for something to do to your hair, ask your stylist to give you some chunky texture (they use special scissors to do it). It makes any hairstyle look much better. You can also have them give you a cut that's a little longer in the front than in the back, called a Swing. It looks great and makes your hair have body.

If it's boring, why not get a cute cut? Straight, curly, wavy, spiky, whatever - it will be a nice change. I had hair to my waist for about 12 years. I had it cut to midway on my neck, (gave the hair to Lockes of Love), and had it spiked all over. It was great not to have to fuss with my hair all the time. Just wash, dry, gel. I had that for about 6 months and now it's grown to the point where I blow dry my bangs back and scrunch the rest. The point is, if you are bored with your hair, change it. If you don't like it, it will grow. Have fun with it!

An updo would keep the poof down. Try to put it in a bun with some hanging down, then curl the hair that is down. Glad to help!

hey... you can scrunch it.. that may work well...
- put a lot of gel [i use LA looks.. curl look.. blue bottle] in your hair. then put some more on your hands. then take your hair and just start scrunching.. squeeze your hair as you bring it up to give a wave look.. then maybe wear that down or in a bun with a clip [like half back]... also.. look in teen magazines or ask your hair cutter..
good luck! xox - manda

One style that may be cute is to get some mousse to help control it and then wind it down in the back in a twist. :)

you could put gel and hairspary in it to make it cute curly or french braids they look cute and they are easy to do and they keep the hair away from your face. also its a hassle to do but straightning your hair you gotta get a nice straightning iron tho it cant be one of them cheap ones.
